The Magnat MTT 990 is the first record player in Magnet’s company history. It was created with all our knowledge gathered from 45 years of hi-fi development and the expertise of proven analogue specialists. And because our standards are so high, the first Magnat record players just had to have a direct-drive system.
The goal was to combine the reliability of studio and DJ turntables with audiophile acoustic characteristics.
